CrossTown Train by Bric Repult Copyright © Bric Repult Hey ya'll I gotta get on the go I drug outta bed just a little too slow Now I got no time to hesitate Gotta get to work and I can't be late Now I'm in the car and on the gas might be drivin' just a little too fast When I get to that light, I'll make a right I'll be right on time and outta sight But… Bells ring out and the earth starts to shake That loud horn tells me that I'll be late There goes that train in front of me Old boxcars is all that I can see Except for a stray dog toting a bone And some girl yapping on a cell phone Do I really deserve this? My boss is gonna moan and hiss I'll go to him and try to explain And he'll say "Boy, don't blame that train!" THAT TRAIN, IT SLOWS ME DOWN, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANNA GET CROSSTOWN THAT TRAIN, IT SLOWS ME DOWN, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANNA GET CROSSTOWN Hey ya'll I scored a date And after this morning that would be great She said, "Pick me up around eight," And another thing "Don't be late!" Hadn't been real happy 'till that I'm glad my feeling of joy is back Now I'm drivin' to where she's at OH NO! It's coming down that track!?! Bells ring out and the earth starts to shake That loud horn tells me that I'll be late There goes that train in front of me Old box cars is all that I can see I know I'll be here for a while 'Cause the engineer gave me a crooked smile Can't believe that's twice in one day Sweet pretty flower's gonna raise some cane "I promise girl, I ain't no slacker, that train stopped and started moving backwards!" THAT TRAIN, IT SLOWS ME DOWN, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANNA GET CROSSTOWN THAT TRAIN, IT SLOWS ME DOWN, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANNA GET CROSSTOWN You'd think by now I would have tried To avoid where road and track collide I've caught this train from every side Where highway 6 meets 45 If I had a nickel or dime For every single dog-gone time I've caught this train moving down the line I'd build a bridge, WE'D ALL BE FINE! Bells ring out and the earth starts to shake That loud horn tells me that I'll be late There goes that train in front of me Old boxcars is all that I can see A big red light's blinking right at me I sit here and read some graffiti After this awful day I've had I think I'll go and rest my head A little sleep I'll be alright But I hear that horn all damn night EVERY TIME I LAY DOWN, I KNOW I'LL HEAR THAT AWFUL SOUND THAT TRAIN, IT SLOWS ME DOWN, EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANNA GET CROSSTOWN ROCK OUT BABY!
